Collection
Gary_g's post offers a rare glimpse into the private gatherings of Patek Philippe collectors, showcasing an impressive array of timepieces shared among friends. While gary_g humbly notes his Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 as his sole contribution to the photographed collection, the images provide a rich visual narrative of horological passion and camaraderie. This thread highlights the enduring appeal of specific Patek Philippe references within a dedicated collector community.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak reference 5712 represents a 36mm iteration within the Royal Oak series, produced during the 1980-1990 period. This reference features a blue dial configuration paired with stainless steel construction throughout both case and bracelet.
The 36mm stainless steel case houses the automatic caliber 2121 movement, delivering a 40-hour power reserve. The watch incorporates a fixed octagonal bezel and sapphire crystal, with 50-meter water resistance. The integrated steel bracelet completes the stainless steel construction.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a vintage-production Royal Oak in the smaller 36mm case size. The blue dial variant offers an alternative to more common dial colors within the reference range. The decade-long production window from 1980-1990 places this reference within the early Royal Oak manufacturing period.
my favorites of this impressive lineup - one watch per watch friend only? Cheers Marc
Everyone could bring as many as they wanted. I was wearing 5712 but brought some other pieces that I didn’t photograph. It was a fun evening indeed. I love seeing what others collect.
Beautiful and highly versatile piece. Wear it in the very best of health! Best, Robert Wearing mine today and it does no wrong.
Thanks for sharing your wrist shot. A classic beauty.
